Watching as the night gets older Imagine that I feel a little less cold Waiting for the light to die The darkness, a friend who protects me at night Only miles from home The place where I rest, it no longer protects me from you All these smiles from you The glow of the neon is slowly revealing what's true I taste the air as I prepare Resist my footsteps taking me there I'm not alone The night is making plans to carry me back home My resolve Is stronger when I picture you in monochrome Black and white is my flashlight I use it now to help me fight Close my eyes And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies Curled like a seashell tossed I whisper my wishes and then all my thoughts Older now for trust I'd lost I wait for the dreaming to bury the cost Cradle branches twisting I need the embrace of a more honest place I'll keep on resisting The moment I fall to the moment I'm losing my grace I taste the air as I prepare Resist my footsteps taking me there I'm not alone The night is making plans to carry me back home My resolve Is stronger when I picture you in monochrome Black and white is my flashlight I use it now to help me fight Close my eyes And wake me when the sun's no longer in the skies Black and white is my flashlight I use it now to help me fight Close my eyes and wake me When the sun's no longer in the skies Black and white is my flashlight I use it now to help me fight Close my eyes and wake me When the sun's no longer in the skies
